The Space:
*IF YOU AREN'T COMFORTABLE DRIVING STEEP OR WINDING MOUNTAIN ROADS, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN, THIS IS NOT THE CABIN FOR YOU. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND LOW PROFILE CARS.
*Our cabin sleeps 10 people comfortably in 4 bedrooms. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom. We can accommodate 2 more people on the sleeper sofa in the living room (total of 12 guests). 12 guests will be tight.
*Each bedroom and both the upstairs and downstairs living areas all have doors that open out onto the double decks. You can enjoy drinks out on the decks while rocking in the rocking chairs or on the swinging benches.
*Our home has a hot tub, pool table, outdoor fire pit, and charcoal grill (please bring your own firewood and charcoal).
*Flat-screen TVS are in every room for your enjoyment and USB chargers.
*Free Wifi
*Dish cable
*Laundry room with washer + dryer
*We provide a well-equipped kitchen, 12-cup coffee maker (bring flat bottom filters), charcoal grill, & outdoor grilling utensils
*There is flat parking for 3 vehicles total. The covered awning has been repurposed and available for one small car to park there and there is a flat space just outside of the awning. Other vehicles would have to park on the "hill" part of the driveway.
*We highly recommend driving up for the first time during the day and follow the Waze app to get to the cabin. Blue signs with the address will help direct you after second turn.
*This cabin is on a shared well. Should electricity go out, water cannot be pumped into the house. Use water sparingly as it is shared with 5 other cabins. Excessive water, leaks, leaking toilets, etc. can run the well dry.
*No pets, no parties, and no smoking in our home.

CABIN LAYOUT:
The main level has 2 King-suites, each with a large garden tub/shower. The downstairs has a King-suite and a double-Queen suite with regular tub/shower combos.

CLEANERS PROVIDE STARTER SUPPLIES: Cleaner provides 1-2 bars of soap per bathroom, 2 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom, 1 roll of paper towels, 1 kitchen towel, 1 dish towel, and hotel-sized dish liquid. They provide 2 trash bags per trash can. Please bring more of the above items to fit your needs based on your size group and length of stay. You will need to bring additional supplies as needed, food/groceries, firewood, charcoal, and ice. We purchased a brand new refrigerator and freezer, but learned the water line cannot be hooked up. There are ice trays for your use.

*The cabin in uniquely located on the mountain-side with a private driveway and breathtaking 180 degree views. The drive up to the cabin is on a paved, one-lane road. The vehicle going up has the right-of-way. Pull over spots are located on the down side. There are 3 sharp hairpin turns, so please make sure your driver is comfortable with winding mountain roads. For easiest entrance into the driveway, go past the driveway, turn around at the top of the road and come back down. Contractors, cleaners, maintenance, and we make the drive often without issue and without 4-wheel drive. However, if you are more comfortable with 4-wheel drive, please bring a vehicle with that feature. Folks have made the drive with trailers, but not everyone feels comfortable with trailers on mountain roads. PLEASE BE AWARE OF YOUR OWN COMFORT LEVEL WHEN BOOKING.

**As mentioned in other places, water must be used sparingly because we share a well with 5 other cabins. Excessive water usage (long showers, dishes, sinks, etc) can cause water shortages. You also must notify us of any leaks or dripping immediately to conserve water for all guests. If we come up against a water shortage, we may not be able to fill hot tubs at any of the cabins, either. Please be aware of this prior to booking. We do have a filtration system, but if you aren't comfortable with drinking well water, you might want to bring your own drinking water. If water sits, there may be yellow discoloration on tubs/toilets causing staining, but that doesn't mean they haven't been cleaned.**

Getting Around:
To better your experience, we encourage our guests to drive your own vehicles, so you have the opportunity to explore many areas during your stay with us. The road leading up to the cabin is a winding, steep drive up the mountain-side and quite adventurous. It is paved all the way up to the cabin and is a one-lane road. If you are to meet someone on the road, there are some pull-offs or you/they will need to pull into a driveway. As a reminder, mountain roads don't have street lights, so turn on your headlights at night. We don't have 4-wheel drive and neither do our cleaners, and we make it up and down the mountain-side just fine. However, if you feel more comfortable, please drive your 4x4 vehicle.

*Be mindful of freezing or snowy weather and plan accordingly. These weather conditions could cause zero accessibility.
